Attention Parents for Fifth & Sixth Graders: New Application Process for Middle Schools

 

December 3, 2009 

Dear Fifth and Sixth Grade Parents, 

On Monday, we distributed middle school applications given to us by the Office of Student Enrollment.  These applications are new to New York City this year.  Instead of two separate applications, this application combines the magnet school and zoned middle school choices.  The Office of Student Enrollment has informed us of the following procedures/guidelines involving this application.  Each application has a zoned middle school on it, based on your home address.   

If you are a parent of a fifth grader and want to remain at P.S. 101 for the sixth grade and do not want to apply for a magnet middle school do not fill out the application.  If you are a parent of a sixth grader and you would like your child to attend their zoned middle school; and you are not interested in a magnet school, please do not fill out this application. 

You have the option of applying to any of the magnet middle schools although you are not under any obligation.  Please place these schools in priority order by listing the numbers 1-4 next to the school names on the application. If your child is accepted to a magnet school they will still have the option of choosing to go to their zoned school instead. 

There are additional schools that have separate applications such as Louis Armstrong, Baccalaureate, and Hunter.  Please do not write these schools on this application. 

If you have any further questions regarding this process, please feel free to contact Randy St. Germain, Parent Coordinator at RStgermain@schools.nyc.gov or (347) 563-4449 or Steve Fox, Guidance Counselor at Sfox12@schools.nyc.gov. 

Sincerely,

 

Valerie Capitulo
